Pay for a cheap job, get a bad job, i'm afraid.

There is always places that will do it cheap, but i'd rather have the main bits done if you MUST do them.

Silvers are defo bad, but there are colours out there that are worse.

I'm sure Scoty's old scoob was 406 and i got a cracking colour match on it.
